| Title : Address Resolution for IP datagrams over
| MPEG-2 networks
| Author(s) : G. Fairhurst, et al.
| Filename : draft-fair-ipdvb-ar-04.txt
| Pages : 17
| Date : 2005-4-12
|
| This document describes the process of binding/associating
IPv4/IPv6
| addresses with MPEG-2 Transport Streams (TS). This procedure is
| known as Address Resolution (AR), or Neighbour Discovery (ND). Such
| address resolution complements the higher layer resource discovery
| tools that are used to advertise IP sessions. In MPEG-2
networks, an
| IP address must be associated with a Packet ID (PID) and a specific
| Transmission Multiplex The document reviews current methods. It
also
| describes the interaction with well-known protocols for address
| management including DHCP, ARP, and NDP, and provides guidance on
| usage.

| You are encouraged to send email to this WG, to help make the decision
| for adoption. Possible recommendations are:
|
| 1) Support for adoption as a working group draft under our
Charter
| -
| i.e. Recommend this Internet Draft SHOULD be used as the
basis for
| developing an RFC by the ipdvb WG.
|
| 2) Request for non-adoption
| i.e. That there is (or could be) alternative approaches to
| the problem, and that the current draft is not sufficiently
| developed / or correctly designed ipdvb WG
|
| 3) Out of scope
| i.e. you believe the document to be beyond the scope of the
| approved ipdvb WG charter.
|
| Emails on this topic should be sent to the ipdvb mailing list before
| 6th May 2005.
|
| Note that an ID does not need to be complete to be adopted. It would
| also be most useful to collect as many comments/criticisms as possible
| from those reading this ID. Looking through the archived mailing
| list, a first list of issues to be addressed is included at the end of
| this email.
|
| Please do help to identify any more known (or potential) issues that
| should be addressed/discussed.
|
| Best wishes,
